• MANAGING TO RECRUIT: RELIGIOUS CONVERSION IN THE WORK PLACE Officials for one practice management companies (PMC) , for example, acknowledge that about 20 percent of the chiropractors who sign up for management consulting also wind up in Scientology courses (Koff 1987). In fact, a number of WISE publications, including the 1989 Western United States Business Directory, refer to one of the PMCs as being Scientology's most effective recruiting organization (Ochart 1993b: 249, exhibit 5; Wilson 1993: 99, exhib煔Ķ 2￿￿WI�� 1��9).

• Stewart Edrich thanks Scientology becaue it aligns perfectly with his practice of chiropractic and clinical nutrition because it covers your entire existence. Unfortunately for him, someone found this on the internet which destroys what little positive credbility he has through Scientology.
  His reply to Quackwatch's Stephen Barrett
  YOU ARE A TRULY SUPPRESSIVE PERSON, YOU CAN NOT STAND FOR ANYONE TO FEEL GOOD, TO GET HELP, TO GET BETTER OR IMPROVE THEIR SITUATION. YOU FEEL THAT IF OTHERS DO BETTER IT WILL BE YOUR DOWNFALL SO IT IS BETTER THEY BE SICK AND HELPLESS AND BE GOOD QUIET PATIENTS WHO TAKE THEIR DRUGS AND SHUT UP.

• Sterling Management, alias Emery Wilson Corp. (WISE 1997 list), a front which tries to lure dentists, chiropractors, podiatrists and veterinarians into Scientology, even holding them against their will, as shown by the experience of Dee Rowe and Glover Rowe. Founder is Greg Hughes, current (April 1999) Chairman of the Board and CEO is Kevin C. Wilson. They have lots of scieno-speak, but do not mention Hubbard or Scientology. The internic entry showed Scientologist Randy Baxter as administrative contact until 1998, who is represented often on this page. Their professional advice is possibly useless.

• Scientology-backed bill arouses concern. Consumer Health Digest NCAHF - June 24, 2003 The American Psychiatric Association (APA) and five other mental health organizations have warned that the proposed Child Medication Safety Act (HR 1170) could have a "chilling effect on communication between school personnel and parents about students' mental health problems." The bill would prevent teachers and other public school personnel from requiring students to take methylphenidate (Ritalin) or other Schedule II controlled substance as a condition of attending school. The bill would permit school personnel to share observations with parents about a student's academic performance or behavior or "the need for evaluation for special education or related services." However, coalition members, who note that abuses are rare, are concerned that this language might cause teachers not to recommend comprehensive medical assessments when needed. In an interview in Psychiatric News, an official of one of the groups said that the Citizen's Commission for Human Rights (a Church of Scientology affiliate), which opposes all use of psychiatric medication for children, is behind the bill. HR 1170 was inserted as an amendment to the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act reauthorization bill (HR 1350), which passed the House of Representatives last month. [Lehmann C. Bill would regulate ADHD discussions in school. Psychiatric News 38(10):10, 2003]

• Scientology pays $8.67 million to settle lawsuit Consumer Health Digest NCAHF - Feb. 20, 2002 The Washington Post has reported that the Church of Scientology has paid $8,674,843 to settle a case that was filed in 1980 by Lawrence Wollersheim, a former member who blamed church policies for injuring his mental health. [Leiby R. Ex-Scientologist collects $8.7 million in 22-year-old case. Washington Post, May 10, 2002] According to the article: In 1986, a jury awarded Wollersheim $5 million in compensatory damages and $25 million to punish the church for what jurors called intentional and negligent "infliction of emotional distress." The award total was reduced on appeal to $2.5 million. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the judgment in 1994, but the ensuing battle to collect the money (plus accumulated interest) continued until shortly before a hearing scheduled in Los Angeles Superior Court. According to an article on Factnet, the Church paid because it was afraid that the hearing could result in certain evidence being presented at the hearing that would jeopardize its tax-exempt status.

Chiropractors who don't like Scientology
